18 Jun 2026 LOGZONE Inc.LOGZONE pays 507,144 USD over lack of cybersecurity in Navy contracts USAOther €442,495

The Huntsville-based defence services provider allegedly invoiced two Navy contracts from May 2021 to March 2025 even though it had not implemented the security controls under NIST SP 800-171 required by the contracts. The settlement under the False Claims Act with the U.S. Department of Justice amounts to 507,144 USD.

What organisations can take from it

Companies that commit to cybersecurity requirements in government contracts must document their implementation verifiably – otherwise every invoice becomes a liability risk.

17 Mar 2026 W International LLC; W International SC LLC; Precision Metal Equipment Handling LLCW International pays 10.5 million USD for overpriced welding tables for Air Force and Navy USAOther €9.11m

The metal fabrication companies and their CEO Edward Walker allegedly knowingly overcharged the Air Force and the Navy for welding tables for the modernisation of a large welding facility; the project was financed in part with funds under the Defense Production Act. The settlement under the False Claims Act amounts to 10.5 million USD; a former employee received 1,863,750 USD as a whistleblower.

What organisations can take from it

Price information provided to public contracting authorities must be calculated on a sound basis; internal whistleblowers regularly bring such cases to the authorities.

31 Jul 2025 Aero Turbine Inc.; Gallant Capital Partners LLCAero Turbine and Gallant pay 1.75 million USD after self-disclosure on cyber obligations USAOther €1.53m

From 2018 to 2020, the engine maintenance company allegedly failed to implement the NIST controls of an Air Force contract and, in 2019, together with its private equity owner, passed files containing sensitive defence data to an unauthorised software company in Egypt. The companies had made several written self-disclosures, cooperated and remedied the issues promptly; the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) granted them cooperation credit for this. Settlement of 1.75 million USD.

What organisations can take from it

Companies that pass controlled defence data to service providers must check their authorisation – self-disclosure and cooperation significantly reduce the consequences.

22 May 2025 L3 Technologies Inc.L3 Technologies pays 62 million USD over false cost data for communications technology USAOther €54.8m

Between October 2006 and February 2014, the Communications System West division allegedly failed to disclose complete and current cost and pricing data when selling ROVER, VORTEX and SIR receivers to the Air Force, Army, Navy and other agencies. Settlement under the False Claims Act and the Truth in Negotiations Act of 62 million USD.

What organisations can take from it

In fixed-price negotiations with the government, costing data must be disclosed completely and on a current basis; price review processes belong in the compliance system.

1 May 2025 Raytheon Company; RTX Corporation; Nightwing Group LLC; Nightwing Intelligence Solutions LLCRaytheon and Nightwing pay 8.4 million USD over cybersecurity deficiencies in DoD contracts USAOther €7.39m

Between 2015 and 2021, the companies allegedly failed to prepare a system security plan for an internal development system used for 29 Department of Defense contracts and did not comply with the clauses DFARS 252.204-7012 and FAR 52.204-21. Settlement under the False Claims Act of 8.4 million USD; a former director of engineering received 1.512 million USD as a whistleblower.

What organisations can take from it

Internal development environments are also covered by contractual cybersecurity obligations and need a documented security plan.

6 Feb 2025 Lockheed Martin CorporationLockheed Martin pays 29.74 million USD over inflated price proposals for the F-35 USAOther €28.7m

From 2013 to 2015, Lockheed Martin allegedly failed to provide the Joint Program Office with accurate cost and pricing data for five production and sustainment contracts for the F-35 programme and thereby obtained inflated prices. The settlement amounts to 29.74 million USD, in addition to 11.3 million USD that had already been paid to the Department of Defense; it was triggered by a qui tam action.

What organisations can take from it

Whistleblower actions from within the company make pricing errors costly even years later – internal reporting channels must pick up such issues early.
